Does this mean that Radio Shack will stock the Android Open Accessory Kit? Because I've been looking all around the net and I can't find a site I trust that carries all the boards.

This is a very important lesson for business people to learn. Employees will respond to incentives. For better or worse. Choose your incentives wisely.

I think a more interesting question is how the rear view mirror works. What I mean is how does a perfectly clear image become slightly dimmer when you adjust the angle of the mirror? I've seen that since I was a child but I've never underst

Does this mean you'd have to reload the entire 4GB file? Because given the quality of my home internet connection, that's about a 20 hour download. That's the reason I'm waiting for the USB drive. As an aside, I wonder if Apple has any plan

Wow. I am genuinely shocked that they decided to kill off the white MacBook. All the development costs were already recouped, and I was under the impression that white MacBooks were the majority of laptops sold. It takes a very brave compan

Good. There are few things that ruin my dining experience faster than a bunch of misbehaved, screaming children. I'd go to this restaurant for no other reason than this policy if I were in the area.

If history is any indication, it would be wise to hold off on immediately updating to Lion. Give Apple a few weeks to work out any kinks the beta testers missed before spending the money for something that might not work as advertised just

IMHO downvotes are a weapon of last resort. I rarely downvote anything unless it's something I genuinely think adds nothing to the conversation on the thread(as an aside, I don't downvote dissenting opinions as long as they're presented int

Wow. When Borders closed the store closest to my house, I understood why since the only people who ever seemed to go there were vagrants getting out of the heat and people using the wifi(I used the wifi). But there's a flagship store here t

I highly doubt that Apple will shut Android down. If they do, they'll have the DOJ all over them trying to break them up.

I've been seeing this trend first hand. That's why I am learning how to code. The fact is that the jobs that provide a living wage today are based on knowledge. So you can retrain yourself, or you can be left behind.

I simply say that I'm in sales. Unless I'm talking to a good friend or a potential investor, people don't need to know what I do. Perhaps that's just me.

My advice would be to try and come up with a name that's not registered. You don't want to lock up half your capital speculating on a domain, when you can spend a weekend brainstorming to come up with a domain you'll be happy with. Also, re

If you want to sue based on immoral business plans consider that T-Mobile recently doubled the cost of incoming text messages for prepaid customers. These are texts you can't control getting, yet when you do they charge you anyway. Incident

I have cellular Internet and while the speed is not ideal (about 2Mb/s during the day and 7Mb/s at night) I have unlimited data. I even asked their customer service "so I could run 100Tb of data a month and that would be ok?" And they told

This presents a unique opportunity. So current storage tech lasts about 10 years or so, give or take. I think there will be a massive migration of data and if you can prove your media lasts say 50 years, people will be quite excited to embr

This depends on the industry you're in. When I was in a sales floor, everyone had a nice watch. They were considered status symbols and proof of your skill as a salesman. When I went to my first tech conference I noticed most people had eit

I think the reason why android doesn't have a large paid app base is due to the lack of a well designed purchasing ecosystem. People have been using(read: spending money with) iTunes for nearly a decade. They know it and they trust it. The
